A member asked:
Do you have to be on your period for your second injection of the depo or is it normal not to have one. been getting mine when depo is due. concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The depo-provera shot should be given when it is due regardless of whether you have your menstrual cycle. As you continue with the shot, very often patients will report that they rarely get a menstrual cycle - this is normal.
